GRUPO HOLANDES QUE SE FORMOU FAZENDO COVERS DO ROCK SESSENTISTA E QUE DEPOIS SE TORNOU UM DOS GRANDES GRUPOS DE BLUES ROCK DA HOLANDA!! O LEGAL É QUE OS CARS USAM FLAUTA NO BLUES!! ORIGINALMENTE ERAM CHAMADOS DE "ROCKET DYNES" E DEPOIS DE "BLACK PHANTOMS"!! UM EXEMPLO DO PRESTÍGIO DOS CARAS NA HOLANDA É QUE NUMA APRESENTAÇÃO NUM TEATRO UM ANDAR INTEIRO FOI DEMOLIDO E FOI AO CHÃO DEVIDO AO EXCESSO DE FÃS ENTUSIASMADOS!! A BANDA TROCOU SEU MEMBROS MUITAS VEZES, COMO SE PODE PERCEBER NA FORMAÇÃO ABAIXO!! UM ÓTIMO E RARO VENENO COM VASTO MATERIAL DE BLUES ROCK COM SOLOS DE FLAUTA E HARMONICA E ABRANGENDO QUASE TODAS AS FASES DA BANDA!! 

The Bintangs from Beverwijk were originally named Rocket Dynes and Black Phantoms. They didn't only become known for their rough, smoky Hoogoven-born sound, but also for their great number of line-up changes. In the 60's, especially in the province of Noord-Holland, they had a firm following, which, in the cities of Beverwijk and Haarlem, manifested itself in posters plastered on many walls and even a gigantic gas tank with their name painted on it. Once at the Kennemer Theater, which was the place for open-air appearances at the time, the whole floor was crushed and demolished into pieces by the over-enthusiastic fans. Despite this, the Bintangs (Malay for "stars") remained one of the most underrated groups in the Netherlands.
